<h1>Welcome to the Standards Implementation &amp; Testing (I&amp;T)
Platform </h1>
<p>The Standards I&amp;T Platform is a centralized set of tools to assist developers of Health Information Technology in their efforts to implement the standards required for certification of Electronic Health Record (EHR) technology, and in general, enable health information interoperability.  The platform consists of a knowledge base where developers can find authoritative answers to frequently asked questions, a forum where developers may pose questions to the community, and an issue tracker where developers may submit questions for resolution by subject matter experts from the appropriate standards body.  Additionally, a sandbox environment will soon be available for live testing of software systems. 
<p>
The initial Standards I&amp;T Platform pilot effort supports the <a href="http://www.hl7.org/" target="_new">Health Level Seven International (HL7)</a> Consolidated Clinical Document Architecture (C-CDA) standard; however, support for additional standards will be coming soon.
<br />
